Files and Folders

You can copy files and folders into the vault or create them using SOLIDWORKS PDM commands.

SOLIDWORKS PDM provides methods of managing complex projects. You can reuse information in multiple projects by sharing documents. You can check referenced documents in and out along with their parents.

You can use the File Properties dialog box to view and change properties assigned to the selected file. The tabs and options vary depending on file type, registration information, and external references.

A virtual document represents project information for which no actual source file is available. For example, if you have a printed drawing but do not have the file from which it was generated, you can create a virtual document to associate it with the project.
